The Palo Alto Networks® PA-500 is a platform for enterprise branch offices and medium sized businesses.
The controlling element of the PA-500 is PAN-OS™, a security-specific operating system that natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats and content, then ties that traffic to the user, regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user—in other words, the business elements that run your business—are then used as the basis of your security policies, resulting in an improved security posture and a reduction in incident response time.
